Valerie
"Angel." He whispered.
"Mateo?!" My voice breaks. Vanessa & Rosa stare at me with worried eyes, tears welling up in my eyes.
"Mateo please answer me." I whisper.
"Valerie meet us at the hospital. Mateo has been shot." Apollo speaks & my heart shatters. I watch as Rosa's face drops, her eyes widening.
"W-What?" My bottom lip quivers, goosebumps forming on my skin.
I stand from my seat & head out of the restaurant, rushing over to my car. Rosa & Vanessa follow behind. My hand trembles as I try to unlock my car door.
"Hey I got you. I'll drive you, love." Vanessa whispers & I nod my head. I back away & she opens the driver's seat. I walk around the car & step into the passenger seat, Rosa getting into the backseat.
Tears fall from eyes, my heart pounding against my chest in fear. I shut my eyes & say a silent prayer, hoping that God will hear me & heal Mateo.
"God please tell me he will be okay." I whisper to myself, tears flowing down my cheeks.
...
I barge through the hospital doors & run up to the receptionist, she stares at me in worry as unending tears flow down my face.
"I'm looking for Mateo Valentino." I whisper & she nods her head quickly typing on her computer.
"He was just rushed into the OR." She speaks & I shut my eyes, my heart aching at the thought of him not making it off the table.
"Valerie?" Apollo calls out & I turn around. Vanessa pulls away from him & allows him to rush over to me. He pulls me into a protective hug, loud sobs leaving my lips as my body shakes in his arms.
"I got you." He whispers softly. He rests his chin on my head.
I feel a pair of strong arms wrap themselves around me from behind & I smile at the familiar scent. Leonardo.
"Hey Leo." I whisper. Apollo pulls away & Leo turns me around, tightly hugging me & rocks me side to side.
"I missed you." He whispers & I smile softly.
"I missed you too." I sniffle. He pulls away & wipes my tears.
I sigh & take a seat on the chair beside Rosa. I grab her hand & she interlocks our fingers making me smile. Vanessa sits beside me & rests her head on my shoulder, she grabs my hand & also interlocks our fingers.
The last word he said to me was Angel.
...
I pace around the waiting room, a groan escaping my lips. We've been waiting for 4 hours. Vanessa & Apollo went home to their kids. Now, it's just me, Rosa & Leo. Also, I've been told that Milo is on his way back from Italy.
"Valentino family?"
I've never moved so fast. The way I turned so quickly, I almost fell on the ground but the doctor caught me in time.
